Herring under a fur coat, like some other popular "mayonnaise" snacks, appeared relatively recently - half a century ago. The first written mentions of it can be found in the culinary literature of the sixties. And there, it is made not with mayonnaise, but with sour cream. Of the old recipes, the closest to herring under a fur coat are "herring for snacks" by Pelageya Aleksandrova-Ignatyeva (1909). Rumor has it that the dish in the form in which we know it now migrated to Great and Little and White Russia from the Baltics. Although no one knows for sure.

Usually, potato salads are heavy, filling, and prepared in winter. But young potatoes turn everything upside down: they are delicious on their own, and when paired closely with lightly salted herring, their flavor reaches a powerful crescendo. To keep the tubers firm and from falling apart, it is best to boil them whole, without removing the "jacket" (by the way, it is quite edible for young potatoes) and serve while the potatoes are still warm. Fresh cucumbers and dill, which can be picked straight from the garden, are responsible for the summer in this salad, and the honey-mustard dressing goes with all salads involving potatoes without exception, add it to any - you can't go wrong.
